Check out this reptile's fancy finger flying. Nyctosaurus's (pterosaur) long wings look a bit like those of a modern seabird. But unlike a bird or a bat, its wing is supported by one very long finger. It soared over the Delaware region during the Cretaceous period 144-65 million years ago. The Cretaceous lasted 79 million years and marked the end of the Mesozoic Era and the fall of the dinosaurs.
